Health Q&A: July 19, 2017

04:15 Question: Hi Dr. G. – did the lycopodium 2 pellets, next day felt pretty darn good. Then last night no sleep and terrible headache – could it be related? I rarely get the weather or hormone headaches anymore, but new place, I don’t really know – should I continue? Thank you!

05:55 Question: Hi Dr. G, Are you familiar with the supplement by Kroeger Herb called ‘Rascal’ recommended to rid the body of parasites? What are the primary causes of parasites –the foods we eat or something else? I have been regularly drinking American Saffron tea that comes in a 6oz bag. Could this tea potentially result in intestinal parasites? Thanks

16:10 Question : Dr. G, I haven’t had a soda in almost 2 yrs and don’t ever plan on having one in the future. Can you explain why they are harmful so I can explain to others. Phosphorous is needed for bone health and I presume phosphoric acid (PA) is not. Is PA harmful and does it come from phosphorous?

19:10 Question : Hello doc. Can eating of extremely spicy food be harmful or beneficial in any kind of way? I am talking about Peppers that are 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. I really like them but being on your protocol I am wondering if eating peppers that are spicy over 1 million Scoville units will do more harm than benefit. Needing advice on possible adjustment to a protocol. 48 yo, 130# f, diagnosed hiv+ 6/16. Refused pharma, andbegan program 3/17, (hbsp 2.0, plant drv mins, selenium, immortalium 3 x 2/day, d stress 2x2 day. T cells dropped from mid 300's, to 200 & now classified as aids patient. Gave in and started pharma to try to stop the rapid slide. Will be starting muscadine this week. Having some new, odd edema in right calf area now. Anything else that should be done? Can stress be adding to the fall?”

21:50 Question : Hi Doc, greetings from NZ! it's just after 1pm on Thu here One of my friends, female, 33yrs, living in Germany has a severe egg allergy, even the smell of boiling eggs leads to asthma. she can't touch eggs or eat foods that contain egg. the same goes for nuts. how can it get to this severe stage that even an odor/touching causes a reaction? her MD diagnosed a lactose intolerance, dermatitis & food allergies. She has an incredible amount of other allergies & symptoms which she has had for as long as she can think: bee products, raw vegetables & fruits, products containing soy or glutamate, hay fever, IBS,chronic bladder infections, has had appendix removed many years ago. She is a single mum with a 16month old daughter and has had back & shoulder pain and headaches for the past 3yrs. Has had acid reflux during pregnancy. MD prescribed arthritis medication which she doesn't want to take. Her child shows no signs of allergies so far. I guess she is nearly at a coeliac stage and onset osteoporosis? I'm concerned about the next diseases that are on their way if she doesn't change anything. she is not watching out for the 12 bad foods yet. with all these allergies I'm also unsure which YGY products would be suitable. will ask her to join your webinar about allergies next week. she has 2 younger brothers (29yrs & 31 yrs) who 'only' had hay fever but according to their dad they have 'grown out of it'. How is it possible to 'grow out of an allergy'? - or is this 'replaced' with other disease/symptoms over time? thank you very much! :-) Anja

37:30 Hi Dr. G. I had previously called for a friend that had a fatty deposit on the bottom of his feet. The recommendation was Good Herbs Lyphatic Support which did not help. As it turns out he told me that he also has a fatty deposit in one of his hands. He can no longer straighten out the Ring Finger. the condition has since been diagnosed as Dupuytren's contracture disease. Is there something we can do to help him out in this regard? Thanks. PS. Vital Nutrients doesn't ship to Canada.

40:40 Question : Hi Dr.GAbout 12 yrs ago when i went thru menopause my hormones were real low and I started compounded HRT and was on for about ten years. 3 yrs ago when I got on the Youngevity program I stopped the HRT to see what my body would do on its own. The past year or so I could tell hormones were depleting. Blood test last month showed they were rock bottom again so I started HRT again. In your experience did you find once you start HRT you have to continue. My cholesterol was only 174.

44:10 Question : Hey Doctah G ~ Have you ever heard of a Rife Frequency machine called Spooky2? They are truly advanced Rife machines that run with your pc. They have over 25,000 programs specializing in Lyme disease and cancer, but with so many other programs. What's your opinion on frequency therapy? ~ I have been using Youngevity for a few years now and cannot tell you how grateful I am for finally finding balance. Thank you for all that you do!

49:30 doc, almost forgot, what would be the best way to get my kidneys to filter properly? my urine is clear, and it should be cloudy if my kidneys are filtering properly, so not sure what i need to do.

51:00 I’m a 28 year old female. Started the mighty 90 a couple years ago, but quit taking them a year ago when I got pregnant and started having morning sickness that made me throw everything up. I just started back up faithfully this week. Question 1) I am breastfeeding and would like to continue til my daughter javascript:void(0); is 1 year. I have gotten thrush twice in the past 2 months. What should I do to prevent/treat it? Question 2) Why are gluten free oats and oils in the 12 bad foods? Question 3) In all the webinars I watched, I only heard you mention Ocean’s Gold once. Should it be taken at all during the 6 months I try the protocol or only once I start weaning off Synthroid (if possible)? Question 4) Are there any products that should not be taken while pregnant or breastfeeding? (I have heard that too much vitamin A can cause birth defects)
